100 Plants to Feed the Birds: Turn Your Home Garden into a Healthy Bird Habitat by Laura Erickson
5.0
I love the birds that visit and make nests around my yard. For years I've been thinking about the decline of many song birds in the United States and have been wondering what I can plant in my yard to aid them. Most environmentally minded folks know about native plants but I needed more knowledge.
100 Plants to Feed the Birds by Laura Erickson is just the resource I was looking for. Erickson begins the book with a look and information about birds. Then beautifully moves the book in a beautifully organized way to plants. We get a detailed look at trees, grasses, flowers, bushes/shrubs and vines. We get a look at what grows best in each area of the country, which birds like and what purpose does the plant bring. WIth a key in the beginning we can see what is great for caterpillars, nesting, etc, Covers much more than just feeding the birds. They need shelter and areas to nest as well. 100 Plants to Feed the Birds has beautiful detailed photographs that not only compliment the book but make identification of both birds and plants simple.
I'm looking forward to adding a physical copy of this book to my gardening library. Also, looking forward for spring to get to work planting some species on Erickson's list!
Thank you #NetGalley for the early read. All opinions are my own. #100PlantstoFeedtheBirds
